John "Jack" Garner

To Yvonne and Sister Judy,

We all went our separate ways after high school and I had not seen Jack in many years. He obviously became a very accomplished individual professionally, with deep family and religious roots. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Sympathy & kindest regards to the Garner family & very many friends whe5rever they may be. God bless 1 & all. Take care.

I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one. May loving words comfort your family at this time of sorrow. (Isaiah 57:15)

Jack was a man for all people. His love for Yvonne and the family was only somewhat matched by the love he had for urban communities in Pennsylvania. He touched so many local leaders that touched thousands of Pennsylvanians. He made me and so many other local leaders the best we could be and allowed us to soar to higher levels. His vision was unmatched and I am forever indebted to him. Thank you Jack on behalf of myself and all of our residents in Easton PA.

Here's a man who worked tirelessly to make life better for everyone. He was a true civil servant.

Jack was "one in a million" . I remember Jack with his infectious smile and his always kind words shared with everyone who knew him. If Jack ever had a bad day you never knew it because his concern was always other people. He was the kindest most thoughtful man I ever met and he will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Yvonne and the entire Garner family.

Until we meet again, great leader, good friend!

Jack was a true gentleman. He was a great boss, who led me to discover my own personal strengths. But best of all, he genuinely cared for everyone he encountered.

My BEST memory of Jack is the opportunity to dance with him at League events. He made even my awkwardness feel graceful.

Jack was strong in faith, strong in spirit, and a strong leader. I will miss him tremendously.

We were very sad to read of the passing of Jack. He was a dedicated man for local government in PA. Bill and I both had the opportunity to work closely with Jack during our terms as presidents of PSATC. We hope he will find peace after his lengthly battle with cancer. May he RIP.

God Bless,
Bill Kane and Ginnie Anderson Kane

Jack was a remarkable leader, mentor and friend. His wisdom and guiding hand have impacted me and numerous other mayors and municipal officials all over our Commonwealth. We will always remember his warm smile, hearty laugh, profound advice and professionalism.

Jack was certainly grateful for the amazing love and support he received from Yvonne and the entire family. He was definitely loved at home, at work, throughout the state and the nation.
Thank you, Captain, for pointing...
